Afghans Speak About Possible US and NATO Troop Withdrawal

The Takeaway

We continue our conversation on President Obama’s announcement tonight on his plan for withdrawing US troops from Afghanistan, including how many troops will be returning home and when, and whether or not this will signal the end of the  Afghanistan  War. The BBC’s Paul Wood is in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, and has been speaking with Afghans about their opinions on possible U.S. and NATO troop withdrawals.
